Chapter 157 The disappeared bomb demon
Tong Gu watched as several people began to talk about the original intention and strategy of the player alliance. It was simply to use a large number of members to monopolize the defense cards in the spell cards, so that they could use the [rob] and [steal] cards in the spell cards. Other players grab cards from their hands, but they will not be robbed because they have defensive spells.
In this way, you can continuously obtain new designated cards, and finally collect all designated cards to pass the game.
This logic itself is indeed correct. The game Greedy Continent does in essence rely on teamwork. Many cherished cards are too difficult to obtain for individual players.
But, everything is based on the fact that everyone's strength is almost close.
In the original work, the bomb demon Ganshu was hiding in this so-called player alliance, using his hidden telekinesis ability [Sound of Life] to place bombs on all members, and finally ruthlessly plundered the information collected by the alliance. All cards and directly killed everyone in the alliance.
Except for the Nian Master who escaped because he could use the Nian Beast to remove the bomb from his body, everyone was killed.
"Um... those who collect cards are put aside in advance. Can you let me ask you a question first?"
Tong Gu smiled politely and raised his hand to ask.
The elders of the player alliance in the field were startled, but they did not stop them. On the contrary, one of the newcomers below said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"There's nothing more important than collecting cards. If it's your private matter, just keep it to yourself."
This man was quite a philistine. He just glanced briefly and knew that Tong Gu was not an expert in reading ability, so he interrupted.
The smile on Tong Gu's face slowly faded, he shook his head with a wry smile and whispered to himself
"As expected, there will be such idiots everywhere. They obviously want to communicate calmly..."
The extraordinary characteristic that Tong Gu extracted when his energy attribute entered the extraordinary realm is called [Suppression of Source Flow]. It is a rather rare characteristic that can better suppress the energy flowing in the human body in normal times to avoid meaningless dispersion.
At the same time, it also prevents many observation abilities from observing the owner's energy characteristics.
More importantly, [Suppressing Source Flow] is like a dam on a river embankment. Since you can suppress the energy in your body on weekdays, when you need to explode, you can obtain more surging explosive power.
The smile disappeared from Tong Gu's face, and the aura around him instantly became suppressed.
Tong Gu lowered his eyelids and looked around.
Buzz!
The ink-like spiritual pressure exploded.
Killua had already expected it when he saw Tong Gu's movements, and blocked Gon in advance, but at this moment, he only felt that the world in front of him was cast into a shadow, and countless dark lines were shaking in front of his eyes. .
The huge pressure made him breathless and his body bent involuntarily.
Bang bang...
Several people were unable to withstand the terrifying pressure and fell instantly, but the pressure did not diminish as they fell.
Xiaojie also looked pale. He pressed his knees with both hands to prop up his body, gritting his teeth and persisting under the huge pressure.
Among the crowd, the only one sitting at the back was the blond pony-tailed lolita wearing a red skirt, Bisji. Although her expression changed slightly, she maintained a very calm posture in both body and expression.
"So, can I ask a question now?"
Tong Gu's voice sounded like it was exploding in everyone's ears. The man who had just made the rude words was already wet from his lower body. He kept nodding his head. At this moment, other people in the venue also put away the dissatisfaction in their eyes, leaving only horror.
Tong Gu's eyebrows arched again, and the terrifying spiritual pressure disappeared instantly, and everyone began to gasp for breath as if they were surviving a disaster.
Gonjie supported Killua, who was soaked all over, and asked with some solemnity.
"Killua, what kind of ability is that?"
"That person... is so strong..."
Although Xiaojie did not see Tong Gu take action, in his opinion, this terrifying sense of oppression was not as shocking even when being chased by Hisoka.
Killua panted slightly, his whole body focused on telekinesis as if he was stressed. He looked extremely wary and shook his head.
"I have never seen this kind of ability, that kind of pressure...it seems to act directly on the soul!"
"Xiaojie, this person might be... super dangerous!"
Tong Gu watched everyone gradually recover. He looked as usual, as if the horrific scene just now was not caused by him, and asked
"I want to know, do you know a man named Gan Shu?"
Several old members of the Players Alliance suddenly changed their expressions and blurted out:
"Do you know Gan Shu?"
"How do you know him?"
"Gan Shu has been missing for several days. I don't know if he left the game or..."
They have tried to use the card to go to Gan Shu's location, but the card has no effect after being activated. Obviously, the opponent has either left the game or... is dead!
Tong Gu secretly thought, this is indeed the case. The bomb demon Ganshu may have been killed in advance. How did the other party know this part of the plot? He has never done a strategy for the Greedy Continent...
Could it be that members of some organization have entered this world many times and thus mastered this part of the truth?
"Do you know who he had contact with before?"
Several people looked at each other and then said
"Seven days ago, a group of new players came to the island, and some of them were quite powerful. We went to win them over just like this time."
"The white-haired monster caused a scuffle later, and Gan Shu also disappeared in that commotion!"
Tong Gu didn't expect that the disappearance of the Bomb Demon would actually be related to Kou Li and his gang. It seemed that the person hiding around Kou Li was indeed quite capable.
Then, my combat strategy at this time must also change.
Originally, I thought I would just enter this world full of wonderful cards and follow Gon and others to complete the plot. At most, I would help Gon kill the Bomb Demon. The administrators of this island can directly expel some telekinesis users who have illegally entered the country. So the overall strength is actually not high.
There is no real peak expert in this world on the island.
However, at this moment, the mysterious living player obviously has a good understanding of the world and has a certain time advantage. The bomb demon Ganshu has been eliminated by the opponent in advance, so he must change his gameplay.
You have to find a way to force the other party out.
After Tong Gu changed his expression several times, he smiled when he looked at the veteran players of the player alliance who still had some fearful expressions.
"Gentlemen of the Players Alliance, do you want to win this game?"
Killua felt a chill in his heart when he saw the smile on the face of the man in black who just exuded a terrifying aura.
At this time, several members of the player alliance realized that they and others had lost the initiative to talk, but the situation was stronger than the others, and the other party was indeed extremely powerful, because they had the [Companion Card] in their hands, and they could fly back together at any time. They were beside their companions, so they felt they could hear what Tong Gu wanted to say, so they nodded.
"Of course we want to win, and so far, except for the famous one-star hunter Juez Juela, we are the team closest to clearing the level!"
Tong Gu raised a finger and shook it in front of him, denying it.
"No, no, no, you guys will definitely not be able to pass the level right now."
A few people were a little sullen, but the blond Loli Bisiji sitting in the back had a slightly focused look.
Tong Gu opened his arms and said frankly
"There are a large number of excellent hunters gathered in this game right now, and they are infinitely stronger than you. Do you really think they will let you collect all the designated cards?"
"By controlling all the defensive spell cards, can I seize their designated cards at will?"
"They can ignore the rules of the game and kill you directly."
Tong Gu's words were like thunder. Not only Xiaojie and other newcomers, but also several veteran players turned pale. The most bloody and utilitarian aspect of this Greedy Island game was completely revealed.
Essentially, this is a card game that encourages exploration, decryption, cooperation, and exchange. There is nothing wrong with that. Even the creators have specially dealt with the functions of the cards. All offensive card abilities are only aimed at the opponent's cards, and they are all about stealing and seizing the opponent's cards. A type of card with no spells that directly harm the opponent.
But humans always have the gift of returning the essence of all things to violence.
When all the cards are gradually found, players who feel that they have no hope of passing the level, faced with the magical rewards after passing the level and the temptation of 50 billion money from the rich, will all turn into butchers and kill everyone who will hinder them from passing the level.
Even if they kill the opponent, they can't get the card, but they can reset the card, and they have the possibility of passing the level...
The elders of the Players Alliance were unable to refute.
Tong Gu stretched out his hand to them who had fallen on the ground and still didn't get up, and said with a smile.
"Let me help you."
